Ukraine's state-owned Naftogaz gas company is supposedly running a massive embezzlement scheme as it seeks to get billions of dollars from the government for alleged gas purchases even though Ukraine presumably does not need additional gas for the winter, Yulia Timoshenko, an MP and the head of the 'Fatherland' party, claimed on Monday. According to Timoshenko, the lawmakers were about to pass several bills that would grant Naftogaz additional funding for gas purchases ahead of the winter. One of them would grant the company "compensation" from the budget that was worth 150 billion hryvnas ($4.08 billion) to purchase an additional six billion cubic meters of natural gas abroad. by RT

These bills are to be paid for by the US and Europe as the Ukraine has no money. Sounds like Zelensky and friends are setting up a Golden parachute.
